Subject: Implement 'any LIST', 'all LIST' constructions
Some times we just check TRUE and do not require bare { $_ }: any { $_ } @list all { $_ } @list It will be more handy to have same syntax as 'sort' has: sort SUBNAME LIST sort BLOCK LIST sort LIST So we can write: any @list all @list

sort() can only do that because it has very special implementation in the perl core parser and interpreter, allowing it to take on multiple different personalities like that. Regular user functions like any/all with the (&@) prototype can't do that. Show quoted text

So I'm afraid this won't be easily possible without parser-level trickery, of the kind that would only be possible on 5.14+ with XS -- Paul Evans
